“To experience the landscape as a theophany is to take seriously the way the divine can be revealed through nature and through created things. It means we can join with all of the elements and creatures in singing God’s praise.”
–Christine Valters Paintner, The Soul’s Slow Ripening, p. 134
Church of the Saviour lives out its call to the inward/outward journey together in different communities. Each has a distinct charism and style, but all share the tradition of deep commitment, listening for God’s leading, and servant ministry in the nation’s capital.

All God’s critters got a place in the choir:
Cracked pavement, trees enveloping fences, clotheslines, garbage cans, —
all are always singing praises,
joining the chorus of mourning doves, weedflowers, clouds, rocks, hills, streams
repeat resounding joy.
Sometimes it’s rich soft harmonies, sometimes jumpy dissonances
Always praise
